...

  • Universal Agent 6.2.0.0 or later (32-bit package); installed, licensed, and running.
  • MQ Environment version 6 or later, with working queues.
  • MQ Client jar files for native communication to MQ must be in the following path:
Panel

Html bobswift

<pre>
/opt/universal/uac/container/webapps/axis2/WEB-INF/lib

com.ibm.mq.commonservices.jar
com.ibm.mq.jar
com.ibm.mq.pcf.jar
com.ibm.mq.headers.jar
com.ib.mq.jmqi.jar
connector.jar
</pre>

The MQ Client for Java version 7.0 package with the latest fix pack is recommended.

...

Step 1

Create a directory (or select an existing directory) in which to save the package file.

Step 2

Save the package file into that directory.

Step 3

Uncompress and extract the installation files in the current working directory. The command to extract the files is:
 

Panel

Html bobswift

<pre>
zcat sb-soa-6.4.1.0-aix-5.3.tar.Z | tar xvf -
</pre>

 
If your operating system does not support the zcat command, use the following command:
 

Panel

Html bobswift

<pre>
gunzip sb-soa-6.4.1.0-aix-5.3.tar.Z
</pre>

 
The output of the gunzip command provides the following tar file:
tar -xvf sb-soa-6.4.1.0-aix-5.3.tar

Step 4

After the extraction is complete, run the installation script, upsinst, which executes the installp command:
 

Panel

Html bobswift

<pre>
./upsinst
</pre>

 
An installation log is written to file install.log in the current directory. upsinst automatically restarts the Universal Broker daemon, ubrokerd, at the end of the install.

Step 5

From the license file that was sent to you by Stonebranch, Inc., add the license information to the following file:
/etc/universal/uacs.conf

Step 6

Recycle Universal Broker using the following commands (cd to /opt/universal/ubroker)
 
First:
 

Panel

Html bobswift

<pre>
./ubrokerd stop
</pre>

 
Then:
 

Panel

Html bobswift

<pre>
./ubrokerd start
</pre>

Step 7

Use Universal Query (cd to /opt/universal/bin) to validate that the Universal Application Container Server component of Universal Command Agent for SOA 6.4.x is running:
 
uquery -host localhost (or the name of your server)
 
The output should have the following format:

MQ Environment Verification

...

Step 1

Create the UCMD Manager JCL. This provides the UCMD Manager options, references to the MQ Connector options, and the payload. It has the following format:
 

Panel

Html bobswift

<pre>
//XXXXXXXX JOB CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
000002 //*
000003 //***********************************************************
000004 //*MQ queue test for Publish
000005 //*UCMD is the proc that calls UC Manager
000006 //*LOGON is the DD with userid and passwd (can use encrypted)
000007 //*SCR is the script that contains the MQConnector information
000008 //* to connect to an MQ Broker*
000009 //*UNVIN provides the payload for the SCRIPT in SCR*
000010 //***********************************************************
000011 //*
000012 //*       JCLLIB ORDER=LIB.V3207.UNV.UNVCONF
000013 //*
000014 //UCMD     EXEC UCMDPRC
000015 //LOGON    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=USER123.UAC.LOGON(USER)
000016 //SCR      DD DISP=SHR,DSN=USER123.UAC.SCR(MQPUB)
000017 //UNVIN    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=USER123.UAC.PYL(MQPYL)
000018 //UNVOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
000019 //UNVERR   DD SYSOUT=*
000020 //SYSIN    DD  *
000021 -s scr
000022 -script_type SERVICE*
000023 -i ucaserver -f logon
</pre>

Step 2

Create the MQ Connector Command Options Data Set Member.
 
This member contains the UCA for SOA command options for the MQ Connector that specifies the required information to submit a job to the MQ environment. It is referenced with the SCR ddname and has the following format:
 

Panel

Html bobswift

<pre>
-protocol mq
-mep Publish
-mqhost MQHOST
-mqqueuemanagername MyQueueManager
-mqqueuename UpsQaQueue
-mqchannel UpsQaChannel
-timeoutsec 120
</pre>

Note
titleNote

If the port on which the MQ Broker is listening has been changed from its default value (1414), you must include the -mqport option to specify the current port.

Step 3

Create the Payload Data Set Member. This member contains the MQ message and is read in via STDIN.
 

Note
titleNote

The LRECL length depends on the job it describes. Verify that your data set member record length can accommodate the maximum line length of your message.

 
Example:

Panel

Html bobswift

<pre>
000001 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
000002 <Message>Hello...this is a payload in an MQ message.</Message>
</pre>

Running a Universal Command Agent for SOA Job on UNIX Connecting to MQ Connector

Step 1

Create the UCMD script file (Mqopt) to contain the the UCA for SOA command options for the MQ Connector that specifies the required information to submit a job to the MQ environment.
 

Panel

Html bobswift

<pre>
Mqopt contains:
-protocol mq
-mep Publish
-mqhost MQHOST
-mqqueuemanagername MyQueueManager
-mqqueuename UpsQaQueue
-mqchannel UpsQaChannel
-timeoutsec 120
</pre>

Note
titleNote

If the port on which the MQ Broker is listening has been changed from its default value (1414), you must include the -mqport option to specify the current port.

 
MQPayload.xml

Panel

Html bobswift

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF\-8"?>
<Message>Hello...this is a payload in an MQ message.</Message>*
</pre>

Step 2

From a command prompt, execute the following command to send a message to an MQ Queue:
 

Panel

Html bobswift

<pre>
ucmd -script  Mqopt -script_type SERVICE -i ucaserver -u user -w user < MQPayload.xml
</pre>

 
You can also execute the command using the Universal Command options for STDIN (-I for input and -F for file):

Panel

Html bobswift

<pre>
ucmd -script  Mqopt -script_type SERVICE -i ucaserver -u user -w user -I -F MQPayload.xml 
</pre>

 
Example output:
MQ message published successfully on destination UpsQaQueue.
